I am the poet of the poor, because I was poor when I loved;... - Ovid

"All love is vanquished by a succeeding love."

"I am the poet of the poor, because I was poor when I loved; since I could not give gifts, I gave words."

"If any person wish to be idle, let them fall in love."

"Love and dignity cannot share the same abode."

"Dripping water hollows out stone, not through force but through persistence."
